Team resilience building in response to co-founder exits
研究六支创业团队在联合创始人退出后如何建设团队韧性，发现不同轨迹导致不同心理闭合类型，影响韧性建设，未与退出逆境保持距离的团队会遭遇额外逆境并最终失败。
Founding teams often experience the exit of co-founders. To develop theory about how founding teams deal with adversity emerging from the exit of one of their members, we take a team-resilience perspective and study the development of six founding teams. Our inductive model highlights how founding teams take different trajectories following team member exits, leading to different types of psychological closure, which impact the teams' resilience building. Our model also suggests how teams not engaging in distancing from the exit-related adversity experience additional adversity within the continuing team, eventually leading to team failure. Our findings challenge and extend extant studies on exits in founding teams and team resilience.
